Etching for the Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is facing enormous challenges. Lightweight, cost-effectiveness, increasing functionality, electric mobility are some of the current topics. The requirements for increasing precision of components are connected to ever closer tolerances and complex metal components.

Micrometal´s chemical etching process provides ideal solutions and is already present in many applications in the industry. Our automotive customers appreciate the inline etching system in particular, as it allows the manufacture of endless strips that are easily integrated into their production lines. Etching is typically a good alternative to conventional methods such as (fine) stamping, laser machining or water jet cutting.

Stainless steel and a great variety of other metals are processable. Our Quality Management System is IATF 16949:2016 certified.

Advantages of Micrometal´s etching technology

> Industrial production> High degree of design freedom> Stress- and burr-free parts > High reproducibility> Etched parts as endless strip (Reel-to-Reel)> Direct further finishing on your production line
